Excellent tour operator
I had two amazing tours with Kentau (Tsavo and Amboseli). Dominic always responded quickly and did arrange everything well.
We (Modi and I) spotted a lot of wildlife in Tsavo and stopped at every animal that I wanted to see. That gave me the chance to make some great pictures and identify every animal I saw. Aruba lodge was wonderful surrounded by elephants and beautiful bird species!
After a lot of gamedrives I did not expect to see a lot of new species in Amboseli, but Freddie still managed to show me some new species like the Cheeta and Martial eagle! We took all the time to observe the animals. Sentrim was a bit more basic compared to Aruba lodge, however it was great!

Highly responsive, incredibly professional, deeply knowledgeable
We booked our safari with Lion King at very short notice. Within a day, the Lion King team came back to us with a tailored itinerary based on our needs and timeline.
We were picked up at the airport in Kilimanjaro by Justin, who was very friendly and gave us our first introduction to Tanzania and our itinerary and took us to our first lodge.
The following day we were greeted by Haruni, who was our tour guide for the duration of our stay in Tanzania. Haruni is not only a great guide and tracker, he is also extremely professional and friendly. He understood that as we were on honeymoon we did not necessarily want to have a very demanding schedule, and he showed a lot of flexibility with our schedule and tardiness! We managed to see all Big Five and so much more.
Haruni also helped us deal with issues that came up during the trip (unrelated to Tanzania or Lion King), for example finding a hospital to have stitches removed that I had from an operation just prior to arriving in Tanzania.
I could not recommend Lion King more if you are looking for a professional, friendly, and locally knowledgeable operator!

Poor Service
We have traveled to many countries around the world, and we have never experienced service this disappointing from a tour company. This was one of our worst travel experiences. I am extremely disappointed and regret choosing this company over others based on the reviews we read.
From our perspective, the focus seemed to be on receiving full payment two weeks before the trip. After payment, communication felt insufficient to us. We had to make several calls just to confirm details for the first day, and after the tour started, we personally felt there was no meaningful follow-up to check whether everything was going well or if we had any concerns. We only heard from the company again after the program had already ended.
The meals that were included were not what we expected. Breakfast and dinner appeared to be pre-prepared, and we were uncomfortable with how dinner was being handled by the guide/driver. Because of this, we chose not to eat the provided meals and instead paid for our own breakfasts and dinners. No one from the company followed up with us to ask why we had refused the meals.
Overall, we felt that the quality of the experience did not match the price we paid. In our opinion, we were charged at a premium level but received a much lower standard of service. Because of this experience, when friends asked us for advice about booking a safari this year, we advised them to look elsewhere.
The only positive aspect of the safari for us was the guide, Daison, who was very helpful and supportive during the trip.

Everything was perfect
Everything has been well organised. The pace was not too fast and we had time to enjoy. The food was also very good and the guides great. Very good value for money.

Great Safari experience!
We as two female travellers had a wonderful experience with Tausi Trails. From the beginning with the planning of our trip, throughout the Safari and even after we had an amazing support from Catherine, who supported us in every possible way. Thank you so much for your outstanding support!
We really recommend booking with Tausi Trails, especially when taking a shared Safari. Our experience was, that we were able to stay with one driver-guide the whole Safari, when other travellers from other companies meeded to change the vehicles within the tour. This was a hige game changer for us. Also the food and the accommodation were good!
We don't have anything to complain. Thanks Catherine for the support and Athuman for the great tour!

Perfect Communcation
Very friendly staff. We got affordable experience. Thanks a lot Xadija, very polite girl. With this company, one feels at home and safe. Materuni experience on the first day, Safari on the next 3 days and a trip to the Hadzabe and Datogo tribes on the last day made our trip amazing

Very responsible and polite company
It was a very nice safari tour. The company is made up of very responsible and polite people. It is a company that thinks about the guests every minute of the trip and tries to adapt every detail to the guests' taste. I felt very safe and in a native environment. Khadija was especially caring. The safari was also very interesting, we saw many animals. Our visit to the Hadzabe tribe on the last day was the cherry on top.

Africa changes you and I’m greatful to have had Tribesmen Adventures alongside our family
Testimonial - Aziz at Tribesmen Adventures
Our family including 4 children travelled from NZ to Tanzania.
There is know one better more experienced, more safety conscious, more patient and more knowledgeable than Aziz.
He was professional but accomodating, he understood our families collective and individual needs and got to know each of us.
He was a wealth of knowledge and had the ability to teach our children about life, culture and the wildlife of Tanzania.
We saw everything we want to and planned to see. But also so much more!
It is hard to articulate what and how this adventure was for our family.
Africa (Tanzania) changes you, it’s a life changing positive experience!
And I’d do it all again with Aziz and Tribesmen Adventures

He's really good at his job.
For anyone who wants to see Nairobi National Park, Willy is a great guide. We were very happy and satisfied — this was our 4th safari with him. Thank you, Willy.
